Red Velvet Cup Cake, 5x5" Oil on canvas
Well, it has been a long week. My daughter has been ill, but - I've also found myself unhappy with a lot of what I've been doing artistically this week. I imagine all artists go through this from time to time - I have before... It is part of the "work" of being an artist: looking for new perspectives, trying to express myself in new ways, etc. I'm posting this little painting - which is the result of a cupcake I found at a restaurant I visited last weekend. But, this seems like (although delicious looking) a painting that is quite traditional ~ and I have been feeling the need to stretch myself in new directions! Stay tuned ... I hope I'll have some new things to show you soon!
Love the colors & heavier brush strokes, children do keep us busy ,
ReplyDeleteI do like the way you handeled the paint.
looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love the shadow-y decadence of this painting. I think there's a lot of the non-traditional in your approach to capturing this cupcake. But I know the feeling you describe... all too well. ;) Hope your little one is feeling better soon!

Yum! I think I gained a pound or two just from looking!
ReplyDeleteAn Old Irish Blessing for you,
May love and laughter light your days,
